Live-In Care for Couples

Live-in care for couples is one of the most popular care services.

We often get asked if we provide Live In care for couples and we do!

It’s understandable that elderly couples, some of whom who have shared decades of their lives together, do not want to be separated from each other when they need further medical support. They want to receive the care and support they need around the people they love most, in the comfort of the family home they know so well.

Blue Ribbon Home Care for Couples

Our friendly live-in Care Workers can provide Live In care for couples in their own homes with personal care as well as help around the home.

They’re trained to deliver care for people affected by a range of conditions, including Dementia, Parkinson’s and Stroke. We also employ Care Workers who are able to deliver specialist care, including PEG feeding, continence care and provide care for a ventilated patient. Understanding that couples want to stay together in the comfort of their own home, and if possible Blue Ribbon Care wants to support both their needs. So we are open to offering Live in care for couples.

We recognise that there are certain aspects of caring for a loved one that couples may find difficult.

A Blue Ribbon Care Worker can provide assistance with everyday tasks around the home that couples may find themselves struggling to complete. Our Care Workers can help to prepare meals, clean and polish, vacuum or pop out to collect prescriptions from the pharmacy amongst other things.

Live In care for couples could be difficult and mean twice as many Care Workers. But not to worry Care Workers will still provide assistance when required, but they’ll never exclude or take away their involvement from a task. Although important, our Care Workers aren’t just there to provide health care support – they also provide companionship and emotional support. They love nothing more than really getting to know the people they look after. And this is another huge benefit of offering Live In care for couples, maintaining their social skills in the home environment.

Whereas many home care agencies rotate their live-in Care Workers, we don’t. This enables both the Care Worker and the couple they’re looking after to build up a strong bond. It’s also our motivation to ensure that all the time the couples we care for spend together is true quality time.

The Benefits of Live-in Care for Couples

Live In care for couples allows couples to receive the care they need in their own home. This means that there isn’t the disruption to lifestyles or routines. And they don’t have to adapt to being away from each other or their families – which can be distressing.

Live In care for couples is also advantageous from a cost perspective when compared to care homes for couples. This type of service presents a significant saving over the option of two beds in a residential care home.

Live-in care for couples doesn’t have to be a long-term option. For example, it can be used in periods of rehabilitation, or at least until one member of the couple feels comfortable enough to provide care for their loved one without the support of a Care Worker.

Testimonials

The care and service provided by all the staff of this company were outstanding and I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.

Isabel D

Blue Ribbon cared for my late father and the carers were kind and caring. They treated my father with respect, kindness and dignity. He enjoyed their company and the happy banter.

Jan A

I would positively without doubt recommend Blue Ribbon. The care and attention my dad is being given is outstanding and exceptional. The manager and staff treat my dad with dignity and self respect and they all go that extra mile to help with other matters concerning him. They are absolutely 100%. Thank you to all the wonderful staff.

Lesley S

I would recommend Blue Ribbon as they give excellent care and are very professional. Blanda who cared for my aunt carried out her care to a very high standard and my aunt’s flat was always clean and fresh once Blanda had been. I would like to thank Kim and Blanda for taking the stress and worry out of my aunt’s care.

Margaret E

My Husband and myself have received care for the past two years, since we moved here from our home in Mansfield. Our carers are very kind and treat us both with consideration, meeting our every need. My husband is wheelchair bound but nothing is too much trouble for them. I feel we are in safe hands with this company and are very blessed.

Margaret H

Very accommodating to support client requirements. Punctual – important to older people. Always prepared to listen. Caring staff.

Sheila M

They recognise the individual care to each client, they respect clients views on their care and try and carry out clients wishes at all times.

A. R

All the carers are excellent. They do everything I need to keep my quality of life. They arrive on time, it’s always people I know and we have an excellent relationship. The manager comes by regularly to make sure I’m ok. Can’t recommend them highly enough.

Ronnie L

I can’t rate Blue Ribbon Care highly enough. Mam’s carers are amazing – I live in London and it is a great comfort to know that she is in such good hands. Nothing is too much trouble – endless searching for keys which have been put somewhere so safe no-one can find them, patiently listening to all of Mam’s stories, trips to the local garden centre, and even providing emotional support to myself! We really would be lost without them.

Gillian E

Our first meeting with Blue Ribbon gave us the confidence to accept the professionalism of management and staff. During the time the company looked after my mother they provided a level of care and understanding beyond expectation. Any change of care requirement was organised by Catherine Thompson straight away. Mother became personal friends with her regular carers.
